I am he, fear me
Reading your posts and making a few guesses on where you travel... a 6x4 will handle teh tracks like a runny turd in a glad bag.
So, I agree that you definitely don't want that option.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

He has agreed to this so looks like the way to go as the only other way is 6X4 and as I'm 7.2m long now I definitely don't want that (how ever a GVM of 4.9t and 3 sets of disc brakes makes it atractive)

Maybe drop state wide 4x4 a call (in vic).
They have done mine but it was done from factory.
They do it all in house.
As mentioned though mine is only 3.5T.
Not sure if they do a 3.9T on coils..
My rear coil was about 25mm diameter for the 3.5T..
I think it's worth a call anyway..

Thanks Evil
Yes I've built my off road tourer and would like it legal.
Nice to see you understand why I don't want to go 6X4 as they are load sharing and would seriously compromise off road use.
Thanks Kallen will call and find out if they can go to 3.9T
I'm happy with the current set up just want it to be legal!
Regards
Joe

It seems the Leaf spring rear axel allows that (both OME and Peders have kits)
So this means changing from rear coil to leaf spring.
Has any one done this and if so was it sucessfull?
Regards

Just spotted this on face ache

I hate to spoil the fun but leaf diffs to a coil chassis is a lot of work. The leaf chassis are longer to accomodate the rear spring hanger, so the chassis will need to be extended. You could bring it forward but then the shaft and sub tank will possibly be a problrm
